KEEP AHEAD.

One of the grand secrets of success
in life is to keep ahead in al ways pos
sible. Ii YOU once fall behind. il ma
be very difficult to make UP the head
way which is lost. One who begins
with putting aside some part Of his
earnings, however small. and keeps it
up for i number Of years, is likely to pc
come rich before he dies. One who in
herits property, and goes on year by
year spending little more than his in
come. will become poor if he lives long
enough. Living beyond their means
has brought mnltitudcs of persons to
ruin in our generation. 1t Is the cause
of ninc-tenths Of all the defalcations
which have disgraced the age. Bank
crs and business men do not often hclp
themselves TO other peoples money un-
til their own funds begin 10 fall of, and
their expenditures exceed their receipts.
The man who is in debt walks in the
midst Of perils. 1t cannot but impair
4 mans sclfrespect to know that he is
living at the expense Of others. Ii is
also very desirable that we should keep
somewhat ahead i'm our work This
may not be possible in all eases; as, for
instance when 4 mans work is assign
ed to certain fixed hours, like that of
the operative in 4 mill. But there arc
certain classes ofpeo' lie who can choose
their time for the work which they are
called to do and amongst them there
are some who invariably put off the
task assigned them rs long rs possible,
and then come to its performance hnr-
